The Lunarglides are a great example of marketing hype for what is a very simple product.
Despite the name (very cynical Nike....) the Lunarglides don't contain the Lunarlite foam the original Lunar shoes did (the Lunar Trainer and Racer). The midsole is no more high-tech than simple EVA foam, albeit different densities in a wedge shape to provide stability.
This means they are nice and soft, but don't last long. Can imagine they're also incredibly cheap to produce and so make Nike lots of cash at £80 a pop.
That said, I have worn them and they're nice shoes. Just don't think you are really buying "Rocket Science" or that they will last long.
